  • run it locally in a docker container with no dev knowledge needed

    I wouldn’t put docker in front of a nontechnical person. It was a stretch to convince my dad to watch movies on my Jellyfin server because he would be “connecting to another system” which he found concerning. I can’t imagine beginning to explain docker or how to use it to someone who just wants to download and use an app.

    Not to say OP can’t figure it out or isn’t technical enough, but I would just hesitate to suggest docker as a beginner-friendly “no dev knowledge” solution.

    The fact that Windows devs seem to not know how to run tasks hidden and in the background always bothers me. I’m sure it’s the fault of Windows itself, but Linux doesn’t open jack until I tell it to. With all the extra helper programs needs in the tray to run all the proprietary hardware, I about lose it with all the shit popping up to yell at me.




  • AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! I fucking HATE this idea. Let’s just encourage our fellow American to get even more used to hearing cracker voices everywhere. Sorry to Bother You was a prediction, not a satire.

    I get so pissed when people are so dense they can’t take the effort to understand and listen to their fellow human. I find it so insanely rude to ask to speak to “someone who speaks English” or “an American”.

    From my experiences in tech, the American agents aren’t any smarter. People just aren’t willing to just treat the person in the other end with respect.




  • We are literally all the chosen one. The Matrix wasn’t there to teach us that Neo was The One. It was to teach us that anyone could be.

    The only way to see change in your world is to act on it. Maybe you can’t fix politics, but you can help loved ones. You can plant trees. You can donate your money or time.

    Even if there are others out there who have more resources to do more and aren’t doesn’t mean you can’t make yourself feel better by making the small contributions.

    And even if you tell yourself that you’re just doing those things to make yourself feel better and they don’t right away, the important thing is your action. That’s all anyone else can see.





  • That’s about the same model as I have (I’m using a slightly older X260) and Blender works plenty fine, even on decently demanding stuff. An important note is to make sure to reduce the default tile size to something like 256 if you’re using Cycles for rendering to prevent memory issues. Other than that, I’ve had no issues with modeling or Eevee rendering.

    Assuming it allows for it, I recommend upgrading your RAM to 16GB. 8 is fine for if you’re just working in Blender, but once you’re following a tutorial and are doing some browsing while listening to a YouTube video in the background, things can start to slow down.
